$#*! My Dad Says

I find it very disappointing that this show got cancelled. I think it is much better than a lot of other shows we have on TV.

It wasn't exactly what I expected. I thought there would be more rude, unPC, dirty humor. Instead it was more of a family sitcom. One problem I had is that sometimes the idea seemed to be great and yet it wasn't presented in it's full potential. There were episodes where it seemed like they wanted to make it more touching and contain life lessons than make it funny

I did like the cast. William Shatner was great in the role of Ed. I think he did it perfectly. It was actually the first time I saw him act (I never watched Star Trek or Boston Legal) and I must say I was impressed. I know there isn't much love for Jonathan Sadowski, but I think he did a good job. There were some moments in the beginning when I thought he could do better but for the most part he did it right. Will Sasso's character Vince was my favorite on the show and he did a great job, just as Nicole Sullivan who played his wife. I think I liked pretty much every storyline involving the two.

In this season there were some episodes that I loved, some that I hated, but all in all I enjoyed the show. I think the problems I mentioned would be easy to deal with and I feel like this show would have improved in the second season

As much as I refuse that Twitter accounts now also serve as the basis for TV sitcoms, I cannot deny that especially nowadays, in the days of "canceling" and the "moral upper hand" of the PC community, one such a sitcom already seems like a good relic from the old days. It's about meaningful dialogue of the different opinions and about being able to find each other funny. Laughing at yourself also plays a role; and that definitely has potential and definitely more than a stupid Twitter account. Unfortunately, not all jokes ignite, but the direction of coziness, the classic 90s sitcom breath that is breathed here and sympathetic actors make up for a lot. Above all, the role for the lovable Grumpy-Old-Shatner fits like a fist in the eye. It's really a shame that only one season of this was produced.

i really did not know what to expect from this. Then i saw it was a KOMUT show. So OK, let's give it a try. After half of the pilot i was hooked. William Shatner is excellent . He reminds me of my own father ( :-) ) The situations are also great (WS in a gay restaurant, i mean it's priceless). The only downside is Henry, he needs to get more lines or act a little bit better. The relations between WS and his sons are also greatly written. Full of humor but there's always a message underneath.The show will really take off if they have guest stars , noticeable guest stars (like all the Star Trek crew members :-) Jean Smart is great . There is chemistry between her and WS.

While opinions seems to vary greatly, I like the show and find the cast well balanced. Shatner, at 79 has great timing and his relationship with Henry is something we can relate to as our parents age.

The dad's advice is mostly right but he offers it with such a bitter pill that it is too hard to swallow. Who doesn't have a relative that is probably right in their wisdom but you just can't stand hearing the sound of their voice for one more minute.

For the distracters I will agree that the new character responsible for taking care of Shatner pulls the show down and I am hoping they write of his character quickly (nothing against the actor, it just doesn't fit with the mood - 2 is company, 3 is a crowd).

I hope the show gets a full session and I will definitely be tuning in for the long haul.

Shatner pulls another one out of his... @$$. Of course with the executive producers from Will & Grace, things can only be first class. Well... mostly. The funny lines of Shatner and his own comedy talents make up for the short falling of the rest of the show. Ideally, nothing is ever perfect. (In a perfect world, William Shatner would not have to buy hair...) Expect lots of star cameos and witty writing. Expect a lot of stepping on political correctness and spanking it's @$$. After all, that's what this series is all about... PC meets Old School.

Shatner does not look 79...more like 59... and "Henry" looks to be in his thirties...which he is (31). Therefore, the premise works, unlike "Retired at 35". Sadowski is superior to McClain by far...although we could have hoped for Zach Braff to take the lead role of "Henry". Second string ain't bad...but the snap of a seasoned star like Braff would have helped tremendously to support the wit of the lead "Ed" played by Shatner...brilliantly as usual.

The writing is coming along to support the premise and the main characters...but has not yet bloomed into its potential. Bottom line...the best new show of the season on any network. Perhaps the best show on any network... period. Including "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory." My VCR is set. I never miss it.
